I guess this is aimed equally at both people who think the Showa Era is some wildly different thing as well as people who think modern shows have lost their identity: there's a lot more connective tissue left than might be apparent. The ways these concepts are expressed have changed a lot, for sure, but a lot of the ideas themselves have gone largely unaltered, even into shows as recent as Zero-One.
